Medical Information & Consent

By checking the box below, the undersigned parent or guardian authorizes emergency medical treatment if the parent/guardian cannot be reached and acknowledges that reasonable efforts will be made to contact them.

  I authorize emergency medical treatment and transportation as necessary for the student.

Athletic Code of Conduct & Policies

Players are required to adhere to standards of behavior that reflect positively on the athletic program and school. This includes attendance at practices, adherence to training rules, respect for coaches, teammates, opponents, officials, and compliance with all safety and equipment protocols. Repeated or serious violations may result in suspension or dismissal from the team.

  The student and parent/guardian acknowledge receipt of the Code of Conduct, understand disciplinary procedures, and agree to comply with team rules and sanctions.

Concussion & Head Injury Policy

Concussion is a brain injury that must be properly evaluated. Any player suspected of sustaining a concussion will be removed from play and will not return until cleared in writing by a licensed health care professional trained in concussion management. Continued participation without clearance risks further injury.

  The student and parent/guardian acknowledge the concussion policy and agree to immediate reporting and medical follow-up for suspected head injuries.

Substance Use & Testing

The athletic program maintains a drug- and alcohol-free environment. The school may implement testing protocols. Positive tests or refusal to submit to testing may result in immediate removal from competition and additional sanctions pursuant to policy.

  The student and parent/guardian consent to the program's substance use policies and acknowledge potential consequences for violations.

Travel & Overnight Events

Participation in team travel is a privilege. Coaches will provide itineraries and supervision plans. Parents must supply emergency contact information and any medical details necessary for travel.

  I grant permission for the student to travel with the team under school or coach supervision for scheduled events.

Equipment, Uniforms & Financial Responsibility

Players are responsible for care and return of issued equipment and uniforms. Families may be charged for damaged or unreturned items. Fees for participation must be paid in accordance with the program's schedule.

  The student and parent/guardian accept responsibility for issued equipment and any applicable fees.

Academic Eligibility

Student-athletes must meet academic standards established by the school to remain eligible for participation. Coaches will monitor academic performance and may impose restrictions for failing grades.

  The student and parent/guardian understand academic eligibility requirements and consent to release of pertinent academic records to coaching staff for eligibility verification.

Photo, Video & Media Release

The school may photograph or record students during athletic activities. Such media may be used for program promotion, publications, or educational purposes. Identifying information will be used in a manner consistent with school policy.

  I consent to the use of non-confidential photographs and video of the student for program-related purposes.

Disciplinary Procedures & Grievance

Disciplinary measures are intended to be corrective and will be applied in a manner consistent with school policy. The student and parent/guardian are entitled to notice of allegations and an opportunity to respond prior to final sanction where feasible.

  The student and parent/guardian acknowledge the disciplinary framework and grievance process set by the school and agree to participate in resolution procedures if needed.

Assumption of Risk, Release & Indemnity

Participation in athletics involves inherent risks, including but not limited to physical injury or death. The undersigned voluntarily assume such risks on behalf of the student. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the undersigned release the school district, its agents, employees, volunteers, and coaches from liability for ordinary negligence arising from participation and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the school and its representatives from claims, damages, or expenses resulting from the student's participation, except where such claims arise from willful or reckless misconduct.

The undersigned further agree that any dispute arising out of this handbook or the application of its provisions will be resolved through the school's established procedures and, where permissible, by other remedies available under law.

Acknowledgment & Certification

By signing below, the student (where of majority age) and the parent or legal guardian certify that they have read, understand, and accept the policies and requirements set forth in this Student Player Handbook. They certify that the medical information provided above is accurate to the best of their knowledge and consent to necessary emergency treatment.
